On a visit to the library I happened to notice a man and a woman, both deaf, signing with intense gestures, apparently in a heated debate. The man said
something; and the woman seemed upset. She started signing her reply very fast, to the point where the man couldn't understand a word; she also signed in
big, wide gestures, which are the equivalent of high volume.
Finally, looking strained, her companion took her hands, "silencing" her. Then he signed, very small and slowly: "You don't have to shout, I'm not blind."
